Five Reasons Why Universities Should Go All In on YouTube:

Building a YouTube presence is no longer optional—it's essential. Recent events, including the US election, have shown the power of tailored communication compared to traditional platforms like TV or news channels. YouTube gives you the opportunity to create a unique voice, build a loyal audience, and open doors to prospective students, professionals, and industry partners.

At Filmbright, we’ve learnt that the key to YouTube success is straightforward: start now. Experiment, adapt, and refine. Not every idea will work, but sometimes the unexpected will resonate with your audience. It’s a journey of discovery, and the rewards are worth it.

Five Reasons Why Universities Should Go All In on YouTube:

1. A Fantastic Marketing Tool
   YouTube provides a global platform to showcase your university’s unique story, academic excellence, and vibrant student life.

2. Encourages Two-Way Conversations
   Through comments, live streams, and community posts, you can engage directly with your audience, fostering genuine connections.

3. Understand Your Audience Better
   By tracking what resonates with your viewers, you can gain insights into their interests and tailor your content accordingly.

4. Content That Fits and Is Timely
   Creating regular, relevant content ensures your university stays fresh, adaptable, and aligned with current trends.

5. A Great Gift to Your Next Successor
   Building a thriving YouTube channel now sets up future leadership with a powerful platform that grows in value over time.

Universities like Cambridge and Harvard and MIT have successfully used YouTube to tell their stories, demonstrate their impact, and engage with global audiences. With the right strategy, you can achieve meaningful results without needing a huge budget.

YouTube isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. Authentic storytelling and consistent engagement build trust and loyalty over time. The sooner you begin, the sooner you’ll see the fruits of your efforts, opening doors and sparking ideas you hadn’t anticipated.

First image of black hole at centre of our galaxy→

The first image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy has been produced by a global team involving UCL researchers. The result provides overwhelming evidence that the object is indeed a black hole and yields valuable clues about the workings of such giants, which are thought to reside at the centre of most galaxies.

UCL works with MercedesAMG to develop new Breathing Aid for patients with COVID-19→

The designs of a new breathing aid developed by engineers at UCL and Formula One working with clinicians at UCLH have been made freely available to support the global response to Covid-19.

The UCL-Ventura breathing aid, a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device, helps Covid-19 patients with lung infections to breathe more easily, when an oxygen mask alone is insufficient.

CPAP devices are in short supply in UK hospitals, so engineers at UCL and Mercedes-AMG HPP worked round-the-clock to reverse engineer a device that could be manufactured rapidly by the thousands. 

The breathing aid was produced within a rapid timeframe – it took fewer than 100 hours from the initial meeting to production of the first device. Mark II of the device, which has reduced oxygen consumption by up to 70% compared to the Mark I model, received MHRA regulatory approval last week. 

Corona Virus (Covid19)

The Corona virus has taken the world by surprise, Universities and the entire education system has been far from immune to this infection. Many colleges across the world are having to adapt to this pandemic in ways they have never had to before, this involves scrapping face to face teaching and all other physical interactions, sports and socialising. This is a very different era we are stepping into and one that we hope will create opportunities to build a different type of world, with new structures in place, that allow the people of the world to live more harmoniously. All sectors are being effected and together we need to work through this. ITs inspiring to see the medical staff at work and the doctors working towards finding a vaccine or cure, this is what research is all about and we will forever be indebted to those who dedicate their lives to keeping the rest of the world from harm. All the best to everyone and stay safe!

Professor at UCL Kate Jones: warns of ‘a very significant threat to global health, security and economies’.
